    It almost resembles the Kodiak stove that Scotty Overkill has in his shop. I wonder if they are made by the same manufacturer but just branded different?:sherlock: I know that stove of his puts off some serious heat in his workshop!

    My widowed cousin wants to sell it. I haven't seen it person, but from the pic I figure maybe a $100 for someone's workshop or hunting cabin. Chief

    Yes that's definitely a great stove for a workshop or a cabin!:thumbs: You just need to keep it stocked with wood and you won't go cold. :stacke::woodsign::axe::coldfire: Which reminds me I still need to get firebrick for my Monarch wood stove that's in my shop! It's in dire need of it. But working on my kitchen and I have to get that done first because I had to take the two radiators out to replace the whole floor!:hair: The weather is starting to change so I better get cracking or we won't have heat because the system is drained! :shiver:

    looked it up Baron stoves made from about 1730 to 1785 in Atlanta so it's really a nice antique or a replica.. of course value depends on condition.. by baron spiegel..

    That's what I found too. It surely is a more modern stove than the 1700's though. It must be a replica. My cousin's husband burned it in his house until his recent passing.

    Can't guarantee a pickup or sale, but there's some interest. My neighbor at deer camp needs a barn stove. That's about 2 hrs one way for us.

    No problem. I think they are asking $100 for it.

    This stove was made in Bluford, Illinois by the Osborn family for about 5 years of production in the early 1970's. They stopped making them when Mr. Osborn passed away, but many still exist in the Southern Illinois and Indiana areas. Great at heat output for a shop or garage, but have to monitor the ash output that sometimes comes out of the handles. I know this is a very late reply, but I figured you could store in your wealth of knowledge if another one pops up.
